host: president obama on nbc december 30. how much of that, off and on -- fawn johnson, do you hear as a response to the election? guest: well, it's largely a response to the election, but keep in mind that the president made this particular priority before the election, which it's hard to say exactly what drove that. but one of the things that has been very clear throughout his first term is that the latinos who helped him get elected in 2008 were very upset that not very much happened over the course of obama's first term. he was very focused on healthcare. and i think the president genuinely wants to deal with this issue. everybody who has been involved in it knows how difficult it is. he just wasn't able to put the energy into it he did in the last term. once the election happened, it became clear to republicans that they couldn't just say no like they had been doing over the last four, five years, because the hispanic population only voted for obama. that kind of sets up a much more friendly environment to talk about the

obama is a black president. first, historic -- hopefully not the last -- african-american president of the united states. every time he moves, every time he talks, race is in play. it is a fact. i commend him for stepping out and talking about something so deeply important. i go back to what i said earlier, this is a vicious trove and a tool the right has done for decades. those of us who talk about race are the problem. and we're not going to get anywhere in this country as long as people wield that as a cudgel. i want to go back to an earlier point, i agree with my friend brian, no party has a monopoly on obstruction. i think both having gauged in tools and tactics which contribute to a sense of dysfunction. i do wish as an american citizen first and a democrat tent, there were more people like ryan and the republican party. i think they say such terrible quandary that is an increasing number of republicans are actually elected on an antigovernment fission. they come here ostensibly to show what a terrible pla

host: president obama speaking yesterday. bloomberg government has a sequestration powerbroker monitor. what have you learned from this? guest: they have been tracking what brokers say, whether they sound optimistic or pessimistic about a deal. they look at the administration, congressional democrats and republicans and the business community, and you will see that the business -- the administration has sounded the most optimistic, like a deal could happen. then you look at the business community. they would be next in line at this point. congressional democrats plummeted in the past week in terms of how likely they think we will get to a deal. they are about even with congressional republicans, who have been the most pessimistic. what is really interesting about this is it comes on the eve of congressional democrats actually having a vote. democrats have a proposal they will vote on next week that would replace the sequester. clearly, it is evidence that they do not think the deal they have come up with will not go through.
